July 5, 2009 - July 11, 2009
Shalom Retreat Center, 1001 Davis St., Dubuque, IA 52001 Director: Don Goergen, OP One of the most important social ministries of our time is the promotion of a contemplative consciousness. In this retreat, we will explore the relationship between contemplation and mission in the context of the mission of the Holy Spirit. Evolution has given birth to matter, life and mind. There is more to consciousness than mind, and we are now on the threshold of higher stages of consciousness. We will focus our spiritual practice so as to be more conscious participants in the evolutionary process. There will be daily Eucharist and times for silent meditation, presentations, and discussion. Offering: $340. Early Bird Rate: $315, if registered by June 5. $50 deposit secures your registration and is credited to the offering for the retreat.)
